Praised for her “exceptional ability to narrate the heartrending
lives of ordinary people” (Jean-Louis Hippolyte), deliver a
“riveting page-turner” (Entertainment Weekly), and master the
“art of creating a diffuse discomfort” (Marie Claire), Pascale
Kramer is one of the world’s finest chroniclers of psychological
disturbance and the family interior. First published in France in
2016, this novel has already been named a finalist for three
prizes. Autopsy of a Father was inspired by the real-life scandal
of French author Richard Millet who, in 2012, made headlines for
publishing an essay in praise of Anders Breivik, the right-wing
extremist who killed 77 people in Norway. Set in France, the novel
addresses issues of racism and anti-immigrant sentiment rampant
throughout Europe by showing how the personal becomes political.
Without resorting to polemics, Kramer shows how a recognized
intellectual can shift toward dark and intolerant positions, and
how that can tear through the fabric of a family and society at
large.
